NATO’s Deployable Command and Control Centre (DACCC) completed the move its Deployable Air Defence Radar (DADR) LANZA LTR-25 and support crew from Poggio Renatico, Italy, to Cataloi, Romania, https://ac.nato.int/ informs. For several months, NATO’s air surveillance and control experts will be supporting the Alliance’s enhanced Vigilance activities on the southeastern flank. The DACCC declared Initial Operational Capability of the DADR on August 14, enabling it to enhance surveillance coverage on the border of Romania, especially to detect reduced Radar Cross Section assets approaching NATO airspace. This mobile radar is one of two assigned to the DACCC. Together with two additional passive sensors (Deployable Passive ESM Tracker – DPET) they provide a unique capability to the Centre making it the only NATO entity providing both active and passive radar discovery. “This deployment has to be seen as defensive and necessary in order to further increase protection of our host nation and Ally Romania,” said Major General Denny Traas, DACCC Commander. “The mission demonstrates the continuous evolution and improvement of Alliance defensive system,” he added. “Our first priority is to contribute to NATO’s effort to a robust and capable military posture to deter from an attack on the Alliance and be prepared to defend when deterrence fails,” he said. Deployable active radars provide an efficient addition to existing static and airborne command and control platform as they enhance interoperability through alliances and partnerships and reinforce the preparedness of NATO Air and Space Power. “The current deployment of the DACCC's radar to Romania demonstrates NATO's continuous commitment to safeguarding the integrity of Alliance Members' airspace. It coincides with the routine rotational deployment of NATO fighter jets – presently Spanish F-18s – to Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania, to conduct enhanced Air Policing. Both deployments underscore the solidarity and cohesion among NATO Allies when it comes to deterrence and defence,” said Brigadier General Michael Krah, Deputy Chief of Staff Operations at Allied Air Command.
